If the first level is above 125 mg/dL, the fasting blood glucose test will be done again (for example, the next day) to confirm a diagnosis of diabetes. A value between 100 and 125 mg/dL indicates pre-diabetes.
Parakeets at Petco, for instance, retail for about $5 to $29, depending on the time of year and species you adopt. For example, a normal scarlet chested parakeet can cost anywhere from $125 to $600, while a rosy Bourke can cost anywhere from $75 to $110; a Rubino female can cost upwards of $800. With so many species on the market, refer to our table below to see what the most popular types cost.
Parakeets tend to live 10 to 14 years, if in good health. Not all will live that long, however, since parakeets can fall ill even with proper care. Improper care can shorten their lifespan to a mere 4 years or less. Consider these parakeet care tips.
